    Love the formatting of that post title. Should be standard for release announcements

    I might just play Painkiller: Black Edition again instead. I’m not interested in co-op.

    Is this a sequel to the 2004 Painkiller by People Can Fly?

    Edit: looking at the steam page it certainly seems related, but I don’t know if any of the original devs are involved.

    Never played the first one others are talking about, but I’m upvoting for title formatting and [steamdeck playable]

      It was the very first game that Yahzee gave a good review of. He caused a 900% uptick in sales of a several years old game, at that point.

      Well worth torrenting and playing with if you remember Quake 3 or Doom 2

          I just found the (mostly) OG 2005 rerelease with all the DLC on steam for $10. It’s called “Painkiller: Black Edition.”

    Nobody ever complained about Left 4 Dead forced bots, but somehow this one is unacceptable. Lol

    I did mostly liked playing the demo on the steam deck, but the forced co-op multiplayer part was off-putting.
